More about Kenya

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Welcome!

I'm Kenya Rouska, a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with six years of experience providing psychotherapy in a private practice setting. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, and couples who have faced a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, psychosis, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem , body image concerns, personality and eating disorders, addiction, and the emotional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those affiliated with the military, whether active duty, dependents, or veterans. As a former military spouse, I’ve experienced the complexities of military life firsthand, which informs my compassionate approach to supporting clients from this community.

I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. That’s why I collaborate closely with each of my clients to identify the most effective therapeutic approach tailored to their specific needs. Congratulations on taking this important first step toward your well-being, and I look forward to working together to build a rewarding and supportive therapeutic relationship.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've worked with Kenya for over a year now and it's been a healing journey. She makes herself completely available during our sessions which creates a safe space to explore what comes up entirely. I've unearthed some limiting beliefs that were sewn before I understood what was happening. I've learned more and grown faster because Kenya is sharp, empathetic, and profoundly wise. No one take my time slot but your mental will thank you for working with Kenya.

I love Kenya. Such a kind and thoughtful person. I've had many breakthroughs during our sessions. She creates such a reliably safe space for me which I needed during the super transformative year I've had. We've tackled some big traumas after years of me losing faith in talk therapy with just airing it all out. If you are uncertain about the benefits of therapy because of a fear of the therapist's personal agenda, fear not here. She really listens and really adds valuable insight that she is willing to unpack with you. She doesn't leave you hanging and I hope others get to experience her as well

I've really enjoyed working with Kenya! She is very sweet! I've learned so much in the past few months about my stress/anxiety that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. She is really good about consistently checking in on each and every concern I have. I would highly recommend her to others!

Kenya is so kind. I felt her warmth the moment we started our session. No problem seemed "too small" which is something I often struggle with. She is so kind and supportive and I truly feel her empathy and support.

Reviewed September 2021

Kenya does the job and more. Not only is she consistently available for communication, she is always on top of her duties. She remembers my problems and concerns and she talks to me about them as a professional but also as a concerned friend. I feel valued and I feel supported when I talk with her. I have been with her for a short time and I have already made it through scary roadblocks with much more ease than I would have had if I was alone.
